If you’re building a business, regardless of your stage, you’ve undoubtedly encountered challenges and trials that test your mettle and make you question whether you should keep moving forward.

If that feels too close to home for you, you’re not losing your edge or failing. You’re probably right where you need to be. It’s a mental game every entrepreneur will play countless times throughout their career.

As someone who has been in this spot more times than I care to recall, I want to inspire you and provide a spark to help you remember what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. I have compiled a handful of quotes from business leaders that encapsulate the wisdom and motivation you need for each stage of the entrepreneurial journey.

A dream and a plan

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.” –Rob Siltanen, advertising executive and creative director

If you’re tossing around the idea of starting your own business, you’ll get plenty of unsolicited advice, and most of it won’t be helpful. Many people will likely question your sanity and whether it’s wise to invest your time and resources in something likely to fail within a year.

If you’re serious about being a successful entrepreneur, Siltanen’s wisdom may sound strange, but it’s also extremely practical. Starting a business is a massive risk, and you’ll have people who think they know what’s best for you. But this isn’t their dream or business idea. It’s yours.

Surround yourself with brilliant, experienced and “crazy” business minds who are supportive and straightforward with you. Find people who have been where you are and seek their counsel. Chances are, they’ll understand your situation better than anyone and can help guide you down the right path.

Get moving

“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” –Walt Disney, Co-founder of The Walt Disney Company

You will never feel comfortable enough to start a business. With all the potential risks and necessary resources, it never feels “just right.” So don’t wait for it. Just do it.

Seek sound advice, plan your steps and try to understand as much as you can about the process ahead, but there will come a point where you become so bogged down in the planning phase that you just need to move. If you wait too long, you lose momentum or someone else swoops in.

Failing is a terrible feeling, but it’s one of the best teachers you could ever have. So use it. Your plans will backfire. Funding will fall through. This is simply part of the process. It’s unavoidable, so don’t let it keep you from starting.

Research, plan, and treat your company like a minimum viable product. Get it going, learn from what you see and iterate.

Working through the trials

“Adversity is the state in which man most easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then.” –John Wooden, Legendary Basketball Coach

If you’re in the thick of getting your business off the ground, you’ve quickly learned that it is a painful process that throws more challenges your way each day.

Yes, this is natural. No, it doesn’t get easier. If it were that easy, everyone would do it.

Yet there is so much to learn amid your trials. It might be a quick exit from a company that wants to buy you out. Or maybe while solving a problem, you stumbled upon something entirely different than your current product or service that’s even better.

Or, you might realize that you can withstand the most challenging things that life hurls at you. Regardless of your situation, you’ll experience difficulty. When you do, you have two choices: wallow in it and play the victim or accept your situation, let yourself feel the emotion, but focus on how you can come out of it for the better.

Prepare for the next phase of your journey

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward.” –Steve Jobs, CEO, Apple

If you’ve reached a point where your business is gaining traction and has been turning a profit for a while, the temptation to see what else is possible may be gnawing at you.

You might feel like there are innovations ahead and ideas to explore, yet you still have lingering doubts. What if we overextend ourselves? Could we ruin something we know is working to chase down something that could fail?

While these doubts are natural to every entrepreneur, don’t let them stop you from exploring what’s next or, even better — sparking innovations that move your industry forward.

By reaching this point, you know you can take significant risks, so it shouldn’t surprise that you’re itching to do so again. Yes, you have a good thing going, but innovation never happens to those who stand pat. Netflix wouldn’t be the streaming juggernaut it is today if it simply stuck to mail-order DVDs.

Yes, new frontiers are full of the unknown, but the companies that find greater success are the ones who take what has gotten them there to build something even more incredible.

Serving a greater purpose

“A business is simply an idea to make other people’s lives better.” –Richard Branson, Founder, Virgin Galactic

Regardless of where your entrepreneurial journey takes you, when all is said and done, you will look at yourself in the mirror one day and ask if it was all worth it. Can you examine yourself and say — even if you failed, “I truly put everything into making this work?”

All the stress and sleepless nights. Every rejection or setback. Overcoming the most significant obstacles to building a business. Are you proud of what you accomplished?

However, the most satisfied entrepreneurs — the ones who make it through the crucible of startup life and find satisfaction on the other side — are the ones who realize that what they’re doing serves a greater purpose than what they accomplished. They have built something that helps people, making lives easier or more fulfilling. It meets a need that no one else could.

It doesn’t matter where you are in the process; if you can’t see the meaning beyond your present circumstances, you’re less likely to find true pleasure in what you do.

Fight the good fight

Building a startup is one of the most challenging things you could ever do in life. There’s rarely an easy decision, and too often, you feel like the world’s weight is on your shoulders.

Still, it can be one of the most rewarding processes you’ll ever experience. It can be one that helps build you as a person and tests your limits like nothing else could ever do. Maybe these quotes resonate deeply with you, or you need to find inspiration elsewhere.

Either way, if it’s your dream to build something of your own, don’t quit. Inspiration to persevere is all around you. You just have to stop what you’re doing and look for it.

Most entrepreneurs are using AI the wrong way — tweaking blog posts, drafting emails and hoping it saves time. But surface-level tools won’t grow your business. What if you could use AI to build a system that runs your content, lead gen and sales — without hiring a single person?

This video reveals the four high-leverage AI growth hacks that solo entrepreneurs are using to reclaim three days a week and scale to seven figures — no tech skills required. What you’ll discover:

• The content research shortcut top creators swear by: Uncover high-converting ideas from what’s already working in your niche — then turn those insights into original, engaging content in record time.
• Your always-on sales assistant: Deploy a smart system that engages leads, answers questions and handles objections — boosting conversions while you focus on growth.
• Lead generation on autopilot: Set up a full cold outreach engine that identifies ideal prospects, warms them up and keeps conversations moving — without the manual grind.
• Revenue-boosting email intelligence: Analyze your past campaign data to reveal exactly what drives clicks and sales — then use AI to write emails that outperform your best ones.
• The plug-and-play system behind seven-figure solopreneurs: Link these automations together to build a lean, self-sustaining business engine that grows even when you’re offline.

Everything is broken down step-by-step, no tech skills required. If you’re ready to scale your business without burning out, this is the video to watch.

One in five Americans aged 50 and over has no retirement savings, and more than half worry that they won’t have enough money to last once they leave the workforce, according to an AARP survey.

However, where U.S. workers live can have a significant impact on their retirement readiness.

Getting familiar with some of the key averages in your state, from 401(k) balances to median incomes, life expectancies, cost of living and more, can help you understand just how prepared you are — or aren’t — for your golden years.

Cosmetics brand e.l.f. (eyes, lips, face) is acquiring Hailey Bieber’s Rhode, the skin care brand the model and entrepreneur launched in 2022. The deal is worth $1 billion, according to a press release.

“We can’t wait to bring Rhode to more faces, places, and spaces. From day one, my vision for Rhode has been to make essential skin care and hybrid makeup you can use every day,” Bieber, 28, said in a statement. “Just three years into this journey, our partnership with e.l.f. Beauty marks an incredible opportunity to elevate and accelerate our ability to reach more of our community with even more innovative products and widen our distribution globally.”

Rhode sells a selection of skin care products (toner, moisturizer, lip peptide gloss) with the goal of making “one of everything really good.” She teamed up with BeautyStat entrepreneur and chemist Ron Robinson and dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali to help with the formulations.

“E.l.f. Beauty found a like-minded disruptor in Rhode,” said e.l.f. Chairman and CEO Tarang Amin, in a statement. “Rhode further diversifies our portfolio with a fast-growing brand that makes the best of prestige accessible. We are excited by Rhode’s ability to break beauty barriers, fully aligning with e.l.f. Beauty’s vision to create a different kind of company.”

“Rhode is a beautiful brand that we believe is ready for rocketship growth,” Amin added.

Rhode reported $212 million in net sales in the 12 months ended March 31, 2025, and plans to launch in Sephora throughout North America and the U.K. before the end of the year, according to the statement.

Bieber said she is stepping into an “expanded role of Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation.”

Rhode was the No. 1 skin care brand in Earned Media Value in 2024, representing 367% year-over-year EMV growth, according to the release.

E.l.f. Cosmetics was founded in 2004 (originally everything was only $1!) and has reported 23 straight quarters of growth.

The sale has been approved by the e.l.f. Beauty Board of Directors, according to the release.

A few months ago, I was stuck on an email. We were about to announce a delay in releasing a new Jotform product, and I needed to explain the “why” in a way that felt honest, optimistic and clear. Not too corporate. Not too casual. I rewrote the opening five times. Nothing was landing.

Out of frustration more than strategy, I opened up my AI assistant and typed, “Can you help me write a company-wide email about a product delay that’s transparent, reassuring and keeps the team motivated for what’s next?”

What came back was surprisingly decent. Not publish-ready, but good enough to get me moving again. Then I tried something else. “Rewrite this like you’re a product manager talking to power users.” Then again. “Now condense it into an email.” Suddenly, I wasn’t stuck anymore — I had options, tone shifts and plenty of ideas. I wasn’t working alone. I had a co-pilot.

AI has changed the way we work, but the truth is, most of us aren’t actually using it to its full potential. Here’s how to change that.

Shift your perception

Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT have been in the mainstream for a few years now, and even the most tech-averse among us have dabbled in their offerings.

According to Harvard Business Review, the most popular use of GPTs is “personal and professional support,” representing a significant shift from last year, when the reigning category was “technical assistance and troubleshooting.” In 2024, users were relying on AI for tasks like generating ideas and looking up the answers to specific questions. Now, their relationship to AI has evolved, with users treating it less like a tool and more like a teammate.

This evolution is key. The more we anthropomorphize AI — not in a sci-fi way, but in a practical, collaborative sense — the more effectively we can leverage it. At this point, I use AI to take a number of tasks off my plate, assigning it roles based on what I need done: If I want to gather stats or summarize articles, I tell it to assume the role of a research assistant. If I want a wireframe copy reviewed, I ask it to act like a UX designer. If I’m refining a pitch or strategy doc, I’ll prompt it to behave like an investor or board member, so I can pressure-test my thinking before presenting it to the real audience.

The more intentional you are about how you “cast” your AI assistant, the more value it can deliver — not just as a helper, but as a genuine extension of your thinking.

Get your prompts on point

AI isn’t magic — it’s responsive. Vague prompts beget vague answers. But with clear direction, including the tone, structure and style you want, you’ll unlock much more powerful results.

Say you want to create a blog post to announce a new feature or product. Instead of simply saying, “Write me a blog post,” make it specific. “You’re the CEO of a tech company who just launched [insert product and description]. Write a 300-500-word blog post that accurately captures the product’s features, includes key details, and explains to users how it will improve their day-to-day workflows. The tone should be confident and enthusiastic, and adhere to the company’s brand voice [examples below].

I’ve found it helpful to treat prompt engineering like managing a junior team member. Rather than scrapping the first draft, offer feedback: “Make this less technical,” “Add a real-world example,” or “Make the first paragraph more engaging.” The more specific the prompt and the revisions, the better the outcome.

Integrate it into your workflow

One of the biggest missed opportunities of casual AI dabblers is using it sporadically instead of systematically. With just a little bit of upfront time investment, AI has the capacity to streamline nearly every aspect of your daily workflow.

These days, even those without any coding knowledge can easily build customized AI assistants designed to lighten the load of repetitive tasks. From Claude’s “Project” to Gemini’s “Gem,” these platforms enable users to store data like detailed instructions and tone guidelines to keep from having to write the same prompt over and over.

For example, I created a scheduling and email assistant that helps me triage my inbox and prepare meeting follow-ups. It’s loaded with previous email templates, understands my preferred tone and can quickly draft context-aware replies or send a recap with action items after a meeting. Because it’s trained on how I typically communicate and prioritize, it feels less like a chatbot and more like having a highly-responsive personal assistant.

My advice? Start small. Choose one recurring task — something low-lift but time-consuming — and assign it to your AI assistant. Give it structure, test it out and offer feedback as you go. Before long, these automated assistants will start to feel like invisible team members working behind the scenes to keep you focused on what matters most.

In retail, the concept of customer experience (CX) is typically framed through a consumer-facing lens — think loyalty apps, curbside pickup or influencer-driven TikTok campaigns. But the real transformation of CX in the post-pandemic era isn’t happening in apps or ads. It’s happening in the unglamorous trenches of store operations — through workforce tools, communications systems and intelligent infrastructure that the average customer may never even notice.

What’s emerging is a new truth: The future of CX is operational. And the companies quietly reshaping it aren’t your usual suspects.

From flashy to functional

In the early 2010s, retail tech was dominated by bold digital concepts designed to “surprise and delight” the shopper. Magic mirrors. Augmented reality. Endless aisle touchscreens. Most of these either flopped or became museum pieces in a few flagship stores. They failed not because they were uncreative, but because they were disconnected — from operations, from employees and from the shopper’s actual intent.

What today’s most innovative retail technologies have in common is subtlety. They don’t shout for attention; they support it. They equip frontline teams with faster information, they adapt to real-world constraints like store layouts and staffing realities, and they improve performance metrics that most shoppers will never ask about but always feel.

Let’s take a closer look at how this shift is playing out.

1. The rise of retail communications infrastructure

A shopper enters a store with a question — say, whether a jacket is available in another size. A decade ago, the employee might leave the customer waiting while they “go check in the back,” perhaps never to return. Today, with voice-controlled mobile communication tools, that same employee can instantly ping the stockroom team without taking a single step away. Within seconds, the customer has their answer.

What this technology enables is more than a productivity boost. It’s a moment of trust. A micro-interaction where a shopper feels heard, respected and helped — without the friction that defines so many in-store experiences. It’s frontline enablement as CX, and it’s catching on fast.

And while tools like these improve person-to-person communication on the floor, other solutions focus on the digital touchpoints customers encounter throughout the store — promotional screens, endcap displays and in-aisle messaging. These systems help major retailers manage these assets across thousands of locations, keeping content synchronized, compliant and up to date as campaigns change.

When the system is working, the store feels intuitive: Offers make sense, signage matches what’s on the shelf, and the experience runs smoothly. When it’s not, shoppers may not pinpoint the problem, but they notice the friction — and it quietly erodes confidence in the brand.

2. The shopper sees the surface. Operations define the substance.

There’s a certain irony in modern retail: The more seamless an experience feels, the more operational complexity is likely happening behind the scenes. You can’t staff a store like it’s 2015 and expect to win on experience in 2025. Yet, that’s still the reality for many brands struggling with turnover, outdated scheduling systems and lack of execution.

This is where workforce optimization solutions play a crucial role — providing the workforce intelligence and operational backbone that modern retailers need to keep stores running efficiently. By forecasting demand more accurately, aligning staffing to actual foot traffic and helping managers execute daily tasks without the usual chaos, they’re helping retailers deliver on the promises their ads make. And perhaps more importantly, they’re restoring sanity to the employee experience — a deeply overlooked component of CX.

After all, burned-out workers don’t deliver exceptional service. They follow the script, if you’re lucky. But a team that’s well-staffed, well-informed and empowered? That’s the secret sauce behind any successful in-store experience.

3. Infrastructure that moves with the customer

Retail environments have always been built for stability — fixed shelves, anchored signage, permanent displays. But shoppers are increasingly fluid. Planograms shift monthly. Promotions change weekly. And in pop-up or seasonal formats, store layouts are reinvented overnight.

Traditional digital signage — especially fixed, hardwired displays — can be limiting in dynamic environments. As store layouts shift or temporary formats emerge, retailers increasingly need solutions that can move and adapt just as quickly. That’s where innovative portable display technologies are shifting the paradigm. These battery-powered, cordless solutions are purpose-built for agility. No cords. No construction. No waiting weeks for installation.

What this enables isn’t just convenience — it’s responsiveness. A retailer can reposition signage based on observed foot traffic patterns, launch a flash sale at a specific display or bring product education directly to the point of decision — all without waiting for IT tickets to clear or maintenance crews to arrive.

It’s a subtle but powerful idea: making digital signage behave more like merchandise. It moves. It adapts. It responds.

4. Why this shift matters now

We’re entering an era where the margin between customer loyalty and abandonment is razor-thin. Shoppers don’t give second chances the way they used to. If an in-store experience feels disjointed, slow or inattentive, they go elsewhere — or back online.

At the same time, retail teams are being asked to do more with less. Labor shortages. Shrinking budgets. Rising expectations. There’s no room for bloated tech that dazzles but doesn’t deliver.

That’s why the “silent revolution” matters.

These operational technologies aren’t designed just to dazzle; they’re built to remove friction. Some may look impressive, even attention-grabbing, but their real value is in how seamlessly they empower employees, streamline execution and support smarter customer interactions.

In the end, the best customer experience isn’t one shoppers post about; it’s one they don’t have to think about. The store just works. And more and more, it’s the technology behind the scenes — well-placed screens, real-time communication, smarter staffing — that makes that kind of experience possible.
